Answer:
x = .8
y = 2.2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve by substituting y = 1.5x + 1 into the first equation!
[tex](1.5x+1) + x = 3\\1.5x +x=2\\3x+2x=4\\5x=4\\x=\frac{4}{5}![/tex]
Next, we need to substitute the value of 4-fifths into an equation! I will choose the second equation!
[tex]\frac{3}{2} (\frac{4}{5}) + 1\\\\\frac{6}{5}+1\\=\frac{11}{5} ![/tex]
When converted into decimal form, y and x should look like this:
4/5 = .8
11/5 = 2.2
